Guests: Troy Haywood, Ash Marinelli

Hosted by: Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 1 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, Courtney and Lesley chat with IDA judges Troy Haywood and Ash Marinelli about what dance competitions taught them. The conversation covers:

• The influence dance competitions had on them as young dancers
• How attending competitions led to the successful career paths they chose
• Why they decided to get into judging
• Memories of “the good old days” of dance competitions

 

This episode was inspired by the IDA blog “What Dance Competitions Taught Me”, which was published in May of 2018.
